Would like the 65 ignition switch part and sw numbers from a Master Parts Catalog.  My car is a mid-May 65 San Jose A code.  If possible show the page ?  Thanks, Brian

January 1965 Ford Master Parts Catalog Switch Assy. Ignition C3AZ 11572-A Use With C3AZ 11582-A

Sorry page 366 group # 11572 Ign. Switch

Thanks Richard.  Got some help from Jim and then got the MPC page.  The C3AZ-11572-A SW 353 switch is listed for the 65.  I am still unclear as to the Letter designations A,B,S,X. F is for Mustang.   Is the C5AZ-11572-B SW 417 for use in the 65 Mustang also ?  Thanks Brian

A = Galaxie Series, B =Fairlane Series, S =Station Wagon , X = Falcon and F= Mustang

[Brian Conway]

Thanks again Richard.  I am being told the C5AZ-11572-B  SW 417  is for use in the 65 Mustang.  I don't read the chart that way but as you can see I'am having some difficulty deciphering this thing anyway ?  Brian

S = Thunderbird.

It's for a 67 Mustang.

Yeah, Don't forget, The Double-Sided Keys/locks were first used in the Lincolns in 1965?....a few years before they were used on Mustangs in 1967..

That's a good point. This 1965 Mustang ad referring to reversible keys confused me, until I realized it was referring to reversible keys in other Ford products.

Could just be the difference between what they planned on doing (ads and such can be designed months before a car is released) and what they really did. Pictures in ads are really bad IMHO about that.
